Yellow Alert

A quick post to let you know that we are on Yellow Alert for Tropical Cyclone George. Yellow Alert means that a cyclone is expected in the next 12-24 hours. At this stage the weather people are expecting it to hit at about 3am. It's currently Category 3 with winds at about 230km/hr at the centre of it and travelling at 20km/hr. It will probably be Category 4 by the time it hits and, at the moment, is heading straight for us. Of course, cyclones are totally unpredictable and it may all just blow over, or head back out to sea or (fingers crossed) change direction and head towards somewhere free of towns and people.

I'll let you have updates as they come in but if I disappear for a couple of days, don't worry. I expect the power will go off and it may take a day or two to restore.

About Me

My blog was born in 2006 as a way of keeping in touch with far-away family and friends while we were in the red dirt of north-west Western Australia. Who knew it would end up being a cheap form of therapy? We've since moved the 1600kms back to the hills on the outskirts of Perth and I've switched blogging platforms and blog names before realising that actually... I'm happiest right here being RDM. So I'm back. There's a little less cooking (and a little less me as a result!) but I'm still running around after the kids, driving my hubby crazy and as for the red dirt? It's a different kind of red dirt but it's still there.
